Working with Status Messages

The Status module was introduced in activeCollab 1.1 and API support for this module was included in activeCollab's API a couple of months later with the release of activeCollab 1.1.4. Therefore, all commands described in this section are not available in versions of activeCollab before version 1.1.4.

1. /status

Lists the 50 most recent status messages. If you pass the user_id through the query string, you will get filtered messages posted by that specific user only.
